JohannesburgLewiston High School

Summary:

JohannesburgLewiston High School is a public high school serving 218 students in grades 9-12 in Johannesburg, Michigan, which is part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district. While the school has maintained a strong graduation rate, its academic performance has shown signs of decline, and it faces challenges with rising chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to the nearby Gaylord High SchoolVoc Bldg, JohannesburgLewiston High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.5% vs. 92.09%) but lower academic performance in both M-Step/Science and SAT/Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has remained relatively high, ranging from 94.1% to 96.1% over the past five years, outpacing the 83.9% rate at Gaylord High SchoolVoc Bldg. However, JohannesburgLewiston High School's dropout rate has improved, decreasing from 11.3% in 2018-2019 to 1.9% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the 9.1% dropout rate at Gaylord High SchoolVoc Bldg.

One area of concern for JohannesburgLewiston High School is the rising chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 12.6% in 2018-2019 to 26.1% in 2022-2023, higher than the 23.7% rate at Gaylord High SchoolVoc Bldg. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.72% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 43.29% at Gaylord High SchoolVoc Bldg. Addressing these challenges, while maintaining the school's strong graduation rate, will be crucial for the success of JohannesburgLewiston High School and its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
